I gave them to mine too and they had very little effect, it was changing the food that stopped theirs!

I totally agree, try changing the food you are feeding. Can honestly say that mine do not have any issues in that department

I have never used Wagg or Harringtons and i would say that no supermarket stocks a good range of dog food. In all honesty it would be the last place i would go for dog food. Sorry

Perhaps you could make a trip to a pets at home near you or a pet shop and get Arden Grange, Burns or even Beta puppy. There are loads of brands to be honest out there that if you make a trip to a Pet Store you can see them all

It might be a case of trial and error till you find the right food so i would only buy little bags till you find one that suits everyone

Oh i should add that if you contact feed companies on the internet they will send you free smaples and money off vouchers. I have done this recently and i can tell you the comanies are more than willing to send samples !!

I feed Jasper Harringtons and he doesn't have any smelly wind. He did every now and then when he was on Arden Grange.

I think we have quite a few people who feed their dogs Harringtons.
